Answer: 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that , the probability density function for uniform distribution is given buy :-

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{b-a}$ , where x is uniformly distributed in interval [a,b].

Given : The time to process a loan application follows a uniform distribution over the range of 8 to 13 days.

Let x denotes the time to process a loan application.

So the probability distribution function of x for interval[8,13] will be :-

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{13-8}=\dfrac{1}{5}$

Now , the probability that a randomly selected loan application takes longer than 12 days to process will be :-

$\int^{13}_{12}\ f(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{13}_{12}\dfrac{1}{5}\ dx\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}[x]^{13}_{12}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}(13-12)=\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2$

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected loan application takes longer than 12 days to process = 0.2

The cubit is an ancient unit. Its length equals six palms. (A palm varies from 2.5 to 3.5 inches depending on the individual.) W

Assuminhg the ark has a shoe-box (cuboid) shape it´s volume would be:

$V_{cuboid}=lenght*width*height$

We have this three measurements ( $l=300cubits;w=50cubits;h=30cubits)$ ) and it can be as simple as replacing them in the equation and solving but they are in all in $cubits$ . We will convert them to $ft$ because the problem requires the answer in $ft^{3}$ . In order to do this we will use the given equivalences:

$1cubit=6palms\\1palm=3.10in$

and another one:

$1ft=12in$

First we will convert from cubits to palms:

$l=300cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=1800palms\\w=50cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=300palms\\h=30cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=180palms\\$

now from $palms$ to $in$ :

$l=1800palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=5580in\\w=300palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=930in\\h=180palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=558in\\$

now from $in$ to $ft$ :

$l=5580in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=465ft\\w=930in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=77.5ft\\h=558in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=46.5ft$

We can calculate the Volume now like this:

$V_{ark}=465ft*77.5ft*46.5ft=1675743.75ft^{3}$

The volume of trhe ark would be $1675743.75ft^{3}$

Emma's sister is nine years older than Emma. Their combined ages add up to 49.How old is Emma. write and equation and solve

Genrish500 [490]

E= Emma's age
emma's sister's age= e+9 (emma's age plus 9)

e+9=49
(isolate your variable)
e+9-9=49-9
e=40
Emma is 40 years old
To check: Emma's sister is 9 years older right? take emmas age 40 plus the nine more years and you still get the total of 49! hope that helps good luck

When plucked, the high E string on a guitar has a frequency of 330 cycles per second. What sine function represents this note wh

Ber [7]

Let's analyse the function

$y = f(x) = A\sin(\omega x)$

The amplitude is A, so we want A=1.5

Now, we start at x=0, and we have $1.5\sin(0)=0$

After one second, i.e. x=1, we want this sine function to make 330 cycles, i.e. the argument must be $330\cdot 2\pi$

So, we have

$f(1)=1.5\sin(\omega) = 1.5\sin(660\pi)$

so, the function is

$f(x) = 1.5\sin(660\pi x)$

AVprozaik [17]

X number of male students
Y number of female students
Z number of the adults
X=(1 + 7)Z=8Z
Y= X/2
X +Y +Z = 82
8Z +8Z/2 +Z=82 implies Z=82/26=3.1
so we take Z= 3

X= 24
and Y = 12

A hole is drilled in a sheet-metal component, and then a shaft is inserted through the hole. The shaft clearance is equal to dif

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

(A)

$P(X \geq 0.8) = \int\limits_{0.8}^{\infty} f(x) \, dx = \int\limits_{0.8}^{1} 1.25(1-x^4) \, dx = 0.08192$

(B)

Then the cumulative function would be

$CF(x) = 1.25x - 0.25x^5$ if 0<x<1

0 otherwise.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

We are looking for the probability that the random variable X is greater than 0.8.

$P(X \geq 0.8) = \int\limits_{0.8}^{\infty} f(x) \, dx = \int\limits_{0.8}^{1} 1.25(1-x^4) \, dx = 0.08192$

(B)

For any $x$ you are looking for the probability $P(X \geq x)$ which is

$P(X \geq x) = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{x} 1.25(1-t^4) dt = \int\limits_{0}^{x} 1.25(1-t^4) dt = 1.25x - 0.25x^2$

Then the cumulative function would be

$CF(x) = 1.25x - 0.25x^5$ if 0<x<1

0 otherwise.
